Controversial country singer John Rich questions vaccine's impact on 'humanity' as he wades into Terrence Howard and Joe Rogan's Covid debate

Country singer John Rich weighed in on a Covid-19 vaccine debate that took place between Terrence Howard and Joe Rogan - questioning its impact on humanity.

Howard and Rogan were involved in a discussion about the vaccine and said that it had caused new diseases in the body due the spike proteins on Rogan's podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience.

The Iron Man actor could be heard telling viewers: 'Now we have all of these diseases that are showing themselves because the body is overwhelmed trying to deal with the spike protein. 

'And the more boosters you get, the worse your outcomes are going to be.' 

He also praised Rogan for the 'bold stand [he took] years ago when the governments were trying to poison their citizens' and revealed that he had lost three to four jobs due to his refusal to vaccinate.

After the episode was released, Rich shared a clip of the debate on X with his opinion. 

Long known as a vaccine skeptic, the singer tagged Dr Peter A. McCullough and wrote: 'Terrence Howard with Rogan about what spike proteins have done to humanity. ⁦@P_McCulloughMD can you listen and weigh in on this please?' 

Dr McCullough is an American cardiologist and has allegedly been a long time Covid-19 vaccine skeptic. 

He has released papers and video about different vaccine - relate conspiracy theories and even received a restraining order from Texas's largest nonprofit health system, Baylor. 

Dr McCullough has also been removed as a faculty member from Texas A&M College of Medicine, Texas Christian University (TCU) and University of North Texas Health Science Center (UNTHSC) School of Medicine.

The podcast episode comes after a Texas woman and California man claimed they've been left with lifelong disabilities and suffered strokes from Covid shots two weeks ago. 

Before he received the Covid vaccine in August 2021, David Becerra, then 56, lived a full and rewarding life as a retiree who loved to spend time running around after his infant grandson.

But a little less than a week after the shot, he became unsteady on his feet. 

And within a few months, he'd lost the ability to walk longer than a few blocks without needing a break.  At one point, he began coughing up blood. 

Subsequent tests revealed Becerra, from California, was diagnosed with Guillain-Barré Syndrome, an autoimmune disorder that affects the nerves, causing paralysis, difficulty speaking, pain in the limbs, and difficulty breathing. He went on to have two strokes.

Mr Becerra has had two strokes in the hospital and has also gone into kidney failure. He is unable to walk on his own. He and his wife place the blame on Johnson & Johnson's Covid vaccine

Becerra's doctors informed him that he was one of just around 100 of the 13million people who had the Johnson & Johnson shot to develop this condition as a result of the vaccine.

Tracy Jones, a 54 year-old healthcare worker from Houston, is one of the vaccine recipients who experienced postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome or POTS. 

She never had heart problems until she received a booster shot from Moderna.

But two weeks later, Ms Jones - who has never considered herself anti-vaccine - started experiencing heart palpitations. 

Then, she had debilitating dizzy spells. Her heart rate would spike from her normal 60 beats per minute to as high as 200 beats per minute, even while lying down. She soon decided to go to the emergency department.

Covid vaccines 'saved nearly 20MILLION lives during first year of world's roll-out'

But despite their claims, there is no doubt that Covid vaccines introduced in late December 2020 saved hundreds of millions of lives across the globe, including the US.

Covid vaccines from Pfizer and BioNTech as well as Johnson and Johnson – which is no longer available – have been credited with averted at least three million deaths in the US and around 20 million globally due to the virus.

According to the CDC, those who have received the 2023–2024 COVID-19 vaccine were approximately 54 percent more protected against symptoms of SARS-CoV-2 infection compared with no receipt of the vaccine. 

The agency has previously busted false theories about the proteins in the vaccine and confirmed that it instead uses the embedded proteins to teach the body to create a replica of the spike proteins. 

This helps trigger an immune response to fight the virus in future and after the spike proteins have done their job, our cells break them down and eliminate them from the body as waste.
